Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 253: The Assassin Appears

Yun Shang sneered, "Sure enough, people's words are terrifying. Even people have never seen it, so they concluded that the person who had a dispute with Cangjue Kangning was the prince, so it is logical to blame Cangjue Kangning's death on the prince. body."

Qianyin sighed, "But why did the prince never show up, why don't you explain it?"

"I want to know too." Yun Chang lowered the corners of her mouth lightly, "Since others dare to make such calculations, I'm afraid they are fully sure that the prince will not be able to appear."

But where is the prince? And why didn't it show up? Yun Chang leaned on the soft couch, tapped the edge of the soft couch lightly, frowning slightly, with a little sadness.

Prince Jing never showed up, and the outside of the palace was strictly monitored. Yun Shang always stayed in the palace to read and sleep, and occasionally chatted with Wang Jinyan who came to visit. What surprised Yunshang was that Mrs. Jing came a little too frequently these days, and she just chatted casually with Yunshang when she came. Contact her secretly.

Yun Shang was a little surprised, not knowing why the prime minister's mansion paid so much attention to this matter.

The Crown Prince of Xia Kingdom has been transported back to the Kingdom of Xia, but Xia Huanyu still stayed in the imperial city. The obvious reason was to find the real culprit who killed the Crown Prince of Xia, but he was not very keen on investigating the case. , I have been to the palace twice, Yun Chang is not aggressive anymore, he will serve you with tea and water when he comes, and play chess with him for a while.

Everything didn't seem to be making much progress, and Yun Chang's mood became more and more anxious, but on the bright side, he still looked calm and breezy.

Occasionally, she would go to the palace to sit and sit, but most of the time she would stay in Jinxiu Palace, but every time she entered the palace, Qianyin would find a way to move around, and the news never stopped.

"The servant girl quietly asked people to search the palace where Meng Jieyu lived. Since Meng Jieyu went, there was no one living in that palace. Because she felt that Meng Jieyu's death was a bit unlucky, even the corpse was gone. Many palaces Everyone avoids that place, and the things inside haven't been touched much, as expected, a letter was found under Meng Jieyu's sleeping pillow, signed by Wen Lan, and it's all about love." Qianyin sneered, and said again, "In the sewing basket, I saw a purse that Meng Jieyu seemed to be making recently, and the word "Menglan" was embroidered on the bottom of the purse. The concubine's guess was indeed correct. .”

Yun Chang nodded, "Let some people keep an eye on Jing Wenlan, put those things in place, and present them to Father in person when I enter the palace in two days."

Qianyin hurriedly responded, "By the way, I heard that Prime Minister Jing said in the Jinluan Hall a few days ago that the harem was empty and asked the emperor to order a draft, and the emperor...had agreed."

"Have you agreed?" Yun Shang sighed faintly, "People in the palace are all poor people, father and emperor are no exception, but the most pitiful one is mother and concubine."

Nearly ten days have passed, Yunshang thought in her heart, she wanted to find King Jing, she was afraid that the person who really killed Cang Jue Qingsu was also looking for King Jing, the imperial city was not small, but it was not big. The big one, the father is looking for it, she is looking for it, the murderer is looking for it, maybe there are other people looking for it, but they haven't found Prince Jing, maybe Prince Jing is not in the imperial city right now.

As soon as she thought about it, she hurriedly shook her head again, negating the thoughts in her heart. When she was so unconscious before, even the mother and concubine were alarmed, and the whole imperial city knew about it, but he didn't show up. She pretended to be dizzy firstly to confuse outsiders, and secondly to test him. He didn't come, presumably he should be very clear about his situation, knowing that he is just pretending.

He must be by his side.

Yun Shang felt that she was about to be driven crazy by her daydreaming.

Jing Wenlan probably never thought that someone would suspect him so quickly, so his daily behavior was still the same as usual, and he didn't cover it up, and he didn't encounter any obstacles when he inquired.

Although he is the son of the prime minister and he is in charge of a lot of business, the richer he is, the more careful he is with his money, especially like Jing Kui who holds great power, and he is afraid of being caught by the tail and walking on thin ice. Therefore, almost every expenditure in the prime minister's mansion is written clearly in the account. Yunshang used a lot of means to buy the steward who was in charge of the account book. Jing Wenlan had withdrawn money several times in recent months, and the purpose behind it was written to buy jewelry.

Everyone that Jing Wenlan has met in the past few months, Yunshang has been inquired out and sorted out carefully into a small booklet, but Yunshang found Prince Jing among those names by accident.

Yun Chang frowned, why did Jing Wenlan meet Prince Jing? Looking at the date, it should be that she and Prince Jing had just returned to the imperial city.

Yunshang hurriedly called the housekeeper, and when asked about it, the housekeeper thought for a moment before saying, "The prince did go out that day. The old slave remembers that the prince seldom went out after returning to the palace because of his injury. The princess should have gone out at that time." After leaving the palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent a post, which said that Prime Minister Jing was invited."

Hearing what the housekeeper said, Yun Chang also had some impressions. It seemed that when she came out of the palace that day, she saw Jing Wenxi appearing on the street with her face covered, and when she returned to the mansion, she heard the housekeeper say , Prime Minister Jing sent a message, and the prince went to see the prime minister.

Yunshang's eyes fell on the pamphlet that he had collected, which stated that the only person who met Jing Wenlan that day was King Jing. In this way, it was Jing Wenlan who used the name of Prime Minister Jing to invite Jing. Wang met? But, why did Jing Wenlan want to see the prince?

Yunshang asked the housekeeper to retreat, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Qianyin looking at her in confusion. Yunshang smiled and asked, "After Mrs. Jing left the mansion these days, there is still no one following her?"

Qianyin shook her head, "No."

Yun Chang slightly bent her finger, and glanced at the edge of the soft couch, frowning slightly, as if muttering to herself, "Could it be that I guessed wrong, wasn't it them?"

Qianyin was confused, but couldn't get her mouth open, so she went to the table and poured another cup of tea for Yunshang.

At night, Yunshang was already sound asleep, but suddenly heard Qianyin rushing in, with a bit of excitement in her voice, "Princess, I found it, I found it."

Yunshang sat up and looked at Qianyin in confusion, "What did you find?"

Qianyin couldn't hide the excitement on his face, "I have asked the girls under Qianqian boss to hook up with Jing Kui in the past few days. Jing Kui is a lust. The girl brought several back to the mansion, and one of them reported that she saw that Mr. Jing was always talking to a wall in his yard these days. I'm sorry. Another girl overheard a little maid serving in Mr. Jing's yard saying that there has been a faint smell coming from the corner of the yard recently, but she hasn't noticed anything unusual after looking at it for a long time."

Yunshang frowned, a few guesses flashed in her heart, Qianyin continued, "In the morning, they wanted to pass the letter into the palace, but there were eyes everywhere outside the palace, so they had to give up, and discuss it after going back. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to go to Mr. Jing’s yard to check it out at night, but as soon as I walked into the wall, I smelled a smell of rotting corpses. One more time. If it is in winter, I’m afraid you won’t be able to smell the smell. Recently, the weather has become warmer, and the smell has become stronger. They felt that this matter was very important, so they asked the watchman to take advantage of it when the watchman passed by. The people outside didn't pay attention, and stuffed the note into the crack of the backyard door, and then passed the code to the servant."

"Jing Wenlan hid Qin Meng's body in the wall of his yard?" Yun Shang frowned, never thinking about it, Jing Wenlan actually had such a mind and tricks, no matter how others guessed it, they couldn't guess it He even hid the body there.

Qianyin nodded again and again, "That's what this servant thinks, Princess, what should we do?"

Yun Chang hooked the corners of her mouth, "What should I do? Sleep!" After speaking, she lay back down again, covered the quilt tightly, and seemed to fall asleep after closing her eyes.

Qianyin was dumbfounded, staring at the slight bulge on the bed. There was no response for a long time.

After a long time, he hurriedly stomped his feet and backed out.

Yun Chang had a good night's sleep, and woke up in the afternoon. After lunch, she asked the steward to prepare a carriage and headed to the palace. She always goes to the palace at this time on weekdays, and the outside eyes seem to be used to it.

After entering the palace, Yunshang did not go directly to Jinxiu Palace, but went to Qinzheng Palace.

Yun Shang stayed in the Palace of Qinzheng for more than an hour before she came out, with a smile on her lips, and went to Jinxiu Palace.

It was night, just after midnight, but Emperor Ning's exclamation suddenly came from Qinzheng Hall, "There are assassins!"

The imperial guards rushed into the Palace of Qinzheng in a hurry, but Emperor Ning pointed to the open window and said, "The assassin has escaped, take precautions quickly, don't let the assassin enter the harem." In the eyes, after a few ups and downs, he left the palace.

"Investigate! Lock down the city gates and search from house to house!" Emperor Ning said angrily as he slapped the table violently, looking very unhappy.

The Imperial Commander hastily called for people, together with the imperial city mansion Yi and the soldiers of the imperial city guards, they sealed off the imperial city and searched it from house to house.

Naturally, the Prime Minister's Mansion is no exception. After being quarreled in the middle of the night, Jing Kui was wearing only a robe and looked a little unhappy. He yelled at the soldiers who rushed through the door, "Do you know what this place is? Can it be reversed?"

Then he saw the Imperial Commander, Imperial City Manor Yi, and Imperial City Guard Commander walking in together, Jing Kui was stunned for a moment before he realized that something big seemed to be happening in the Imperial City.

He hurried forward and said, "What happened?"

The three of them cupped their hands slightly towards Jing Kui and said, "An assassin appeared in the palace, but he just escaped from the palace. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation, and the general has no choice. Please forgive me, my lord."

The words were so clear, Jing Kui naturally had nothing to say, but his face was still a little gloomy, and he responded in a low voice, "Search."\u003c
